In recent years, with the wide application of face recognition technology, the improper disclosure and illegal trading of face recognition data occur frequently. While citizens enjoy convenience, personal information, personal and property security are also facing severe risks. However, the data security risks brought by face recognition technology have not been paid enough attention by the public. The promulgation of China's personal information protection law on November 1, 2021 provides effective legal protection in the protection of personal information. Although most scholars focus on the data collection and processing process of face recognition technology at the technical level, so as to regulate the abuse of technology, the research on the security of data collected from the application of face recognition technology and its related legal protection is relatively rare. As the application product of face recognition technology, face recognition data has broken through the boundary of traditional legal protection, so it should be substantially recognized and protected. By analyzing face recognition technology and its characteristics, aiming at the current situation and existing problems of face recognition information protection, as well as the comparison of relevant legislative provisions abroad, this paper intends to explore the improvement suggestions of personal information protection law under the application environment of face recognition technology.
